A bold idea would be to redo a talk of another speaker in Haskell and
accidentally surpass the techniques presented there :) Alas, this
doesn't work for OSCON since there are too many talks attendees have to
choose between and the event

I think you are right. If you used something like a theorem prover as
an example, you accidentally send the messsage that Haskell is very
useful for esoteric stuff that only academics are interested in.
Now, that doesn't mean that the example has to solve a real problem,
but it does need to be

A theorem prover might be a really cool example, but if there's one
person in the audience that cares then Simon is lucky. :) You need
to have examples that people can recognize and see the utility of.
